"We performed very well today! They have been putting pressure on us since the beginning. They also had several good opportunities. Julian performed very well and everyone did a good job on the defensive end!"

Wen Sheng was very happy after the game. After beating Tottenham, only Bolton were left to give away points. With the bag in hand, the team's points will reach 70 points. It may not be so strenuous to beat Manchester United in the final round.

If you are lucky, nothing can stop you.

There is good news from the game that will be played later.

Arsenal was overturned by Stoke City 3:1, and Chelsea unfortunately also lost the game against Manchester United. As a result, Crystal Palace surpassed Arsenal and ranked third in the league with 67 points.

Manchester United almost sealed the title.

Good, good!

Wen Sheng almost woke up laughing while sleeping.

I'm sorry, our luck is really not that good. Puliss, who was so badly beaten by me, still insisted on giving Arsenal a little show, which made Wen Sheng suddenly feel that he was not honest at the time.

Should I write a thank you letter to Pulis?!

Walking on the road the next day, Wen Sheng felt in high spirits. What a great achievement. Upgrading can lead the team to third place. Wen Sheng felt that this difficulty was much more difficult than winning the Europa League.

The team has two days off, and only the coaching staff is at the training base.

There are important things to discuss today, mainly for reinforcement. General manager Morelli and scouting director Mader will also attend the meeting.

The members of the coaching staff came later than Wen Sheng. When they met, everyone was happily talking about the capsize between Arsenal and Chelsea last night.

"Arsenal said it was enough to capsize, but Chelsea couldn't be considered capsized. Where did Manchester United fail at the critical moment?" Wen Sheng commented.

It’s hard to say that Ferguson’s Manchester United is very powerful, but this old guy has the goods, strong tactical ability, and strong mental attributes. Manchester United rarely fails, and beating the powerful Chelsea at the critical moment is actually not an upset.

, very normal.

Lawrence said that Wen Sheng should send Pulis a banner, which made everyone laugh.

Stoke City and Arsenal are by no means enemies, but so far Wenger and Pulis definitely have a grudge.

Ramsey’s broken leg incident last year is still fresh in my mind. The professor is extremely protective of his shortcomings. How could he possibly forgive him after just one year?!

When Wen Sheng criticized Pulis, Wenger was also the main player. It would be strange not to hold grudges.

Just a few days ago, when Crystal Palace played against Stoke City, Pulis's team was quite rough and aggressive, and even had one person sent off. Who would say that they didn't have any resentment when they played against Crystal Palace?

Can you believe it?!

But luckily, Crystal Palace still won that game, and there was really nothing Stoke City could do to deal with the wretchedness.

Arsenal is different. Wenger is not flexible. He is not like Wen Sheng, who likes to work hard and be patient with such a rough team. His style is mercury-filled. When encountering a team like Stoke City, it is obvious that he suffers.

Leith wiped away the shame from himself very well.

No matter how awesome you are, if you lose in Sky City, you will be nothing.

"Have you read Cheryl's report?!" Hawking asked Wen Sheng.

"I've seen it! It's so penetrating! It's weird for a head coach like Pulis not to dismiss the get out of class! Stoke will have to get rid of him sooner or later!" Wen Sheng is also a professional after all, and he agrees with his girlfriend Cheryl's analysis.

He remembered that Pulis later went to coach West Bromwich Albion. He must have been unable to stay at Stoke City and finally left, and then went to West Bromwich Albion.

"His path will become narrower and narrower in the future! His ideas are not in line with the development trend of modern football. He may not even be able to find a job after leaving Stoke City!" Brock Hall shook his head and said.

Wen Sheng chuckled, "Brock, Brock! You! Man, you have to understand one thing. Now is the era of commercial football. Whoever can increase and maintain the value of the boss is a good coach, and results are the last word! Puli

Si's tactics are old and backward, but they are so damn effective. The relegation team will need a coach like this! He doesn't have to worry about his job, unless one day his tactics really don't work anymore."

When it comes to the problem of it not working, Wen Sheng is puzzled by the solution.

Stoke City's nickname is "City in the Sky", which means that their football is always flying in the sky. They simply carry forward the British long pass. There are really few teams like this in the Premier League now.

, everyone is now slowly using this method as a supplement to tactics, and there are a lot of ground passes.

But Stoke City is like this, playing the so-called eliminated football, and they can avoid relegation every year. This is really a miracle. Is it possible that other teams can't do anything to them.

Wen Sheng’s research is not deep enough.

It is true that long passes and lobs are Stoke's main tactic, but Pulis is a very smart person and is good at digging out highlights, such as grenades, set pieces, etc., and when combined together, the characteristics of his team emerge.

, Don’t be afraid of strong teams, don’t be afraid of weak teams, everyone who comes will be 50-50, and it’s normal to avoid relegation.

Of course, other coaches wouldn't be as good as him.

Later, Stoke City did not like Pulis and hired Mark Hughes to change the team's style. It was successful for two years, but was relegated later. A comparison can tell you how unique Pulis is.

Wen Sheng felt that Pulis' tactics were indeed a bit behind, but he also recognized his achievements, so he said that Pulis had no worries about his job.

"What is the style of modern football?!" Wen Sheng asked everyone, "The style of modern football is blending, and it is right for the head coach to be fickle!"

This is Wen Sheng’s personal opinion.

Of course, the coaching staff agrees with Wen Sheng's statement. In fact, when the media studied Wen Sheng, many did not think that Wen Sheng stuck to defensive counterattacks and that he was fickle.

Facing different opponents and in different environments, his team's combat strategies are different.

Genius is not a name for nothing.

After chatting for a while, Morelli and Mader also came.

This season is almost over, and the transfer period is approaching. It stands to reason that the team should start planning for the transfer period early. Mader and Morelli have done a good job in this regard. They have wanted to discuss it with Wen Sheng many times, but Wen Sheng

I'm too lazy to discuss it, so I didn't make an appointment with everyone to talk about it until today.

Morelli and Mader have actually been doing the transfer work, but they haven't done it very well.

Wen Sheng took a rare moment to pay attention to the work of the youth training camp today, but the reports from Morelli and Mader made Wen Sheng feel dissatisfied.

Crystal Palace is a small club. After Parish came to power, the upgrades were mainly in the first team. In fact, there were not many upgrades. The youth academy should also be upgraded, but Crystal Palace did a lot worse in this regard.

Now Mader's selection is still limited to South London, which makes Wen Sheng very dissatisfied.

"With this kind of talent selection, our football club won't be able to develop for hundreds of years! Peter, you have been to Southampton and learn from others how to find talents! If you are stubborn like this, the team will have to buy every year

Players!”

Morelli didn't think so much. He understood Parish's thoughts very well. Parish didn't want to invest money in upgrading the youth training camp. He wanted to define Crystal Palace as a star processing factory to poach some young people.

, and then let the first team train them and then sell them.

The investment in the youth training camp is not small, and the risk is quite high. It is not as fast as training the first team and reselling it to make money.

Wen Sheng hopes that the team's youth training camp can have a hematopoietic function to assist in the operation of the transfer market and build a strong and cohesive force, so that the team can more easily achieve results. Simply put, he approves of Lafayette's approach.

On the one hand, we must use our own youth training as the basis, and on the other hand, we must supplement talents in the transfer market, a two-pronged approach.

Of course Lafayette was ruined.

The business model of Udinese was not what Wen Sheng expected, but their unique talent selection was something that Morelli, who had been to Udinese, envied.

The route Morelli is taking now is the Udinese route. He wants to buy semi-finished products for processing, but he has no connections.

Morelli will definitely not tell Wen Sheng that the boss doesn't care much about youth training. He just keeps saying that the club is poor. The team will soon face the renewal of many players' contracts. The money is easy to spend, and there is no money to invest.
